Controller Help
-
As you say, RetroPie can be a complicated system and as such, we need to know as much as possible about your setup to give you effective guidance. Even then, it's still possible that no one here will be able to help you, but going around in circles like this and using the forum as a punching bag certainly won't help.
I think the wiiu controller is compatible with a dolphin bar.
Unfortunately it is not compatible.

@mediamogul well that sucks.

System is a Pi Zero, RetroPie install, Emulationstation 2.1.5rp, rp version 4.1.2, with a targus 4.0 bt dongle, after trying a audiobot 4.0 dongle, both show active and successful.. No other updates or anything like that installed this time, last time everything was the same except I installed all drivers and updated all installed packages same result.. In the Bluetooth setup, pairing does not work, via the command prompt and audio Bluetoothctl I get to pair (+tab) and nothing..
-
As a troubleshooting measure, have you tried pairing it with another computer besides the Pi? Also, do you know if it will currently pair successfully with the WiiU?
-
@mediamogul I am currently using it on my Alienware laptop via the built in bluetooth as we speak, and as of two weeks ago it was working fine on my Wii U..
-
Have you tried unpairing it from your laptop as a precursor to pairing with the Pi?
-
@mediamogul In windows 10 i have told it to unpair and then turned off bluetooth just to be safe.
-
Working in reverse, do you have another Bluetooth device that you could pair with the Pi to test?
-
@mediamogul unfornatly i dont know how to, its a newer ps4 controller. I dont know how to do the new setup method with ds4dvr
-
That might ultimately be worth trying later, but do you have anything easy like a mouse or keyboard you could try pairing?
-
No keyboard / mouse that's bt, I have a phone or soundbar that both have Bluetooth but that's it, I'm going to Gamestop tomorrow to grab another wii u pro controller to see if mine is the issue.. Will report then..

@marie011101 I've tried that a million times, it's searches for the controller, and the controller searches for the pi, they just don't connect, on top of that being an old build..
